  Shibli Bagarag, a barber of Persia, is destined to shave Shagpat the clothier — who has one enchanted hair in his head, and rules the city through it. To do it he needs a magic sword, a woman who understands the business, and the Event. Meredith wrote this in his twenties in the manner of the Arabian Nights, and it is the strangest first novel by any Victorian novelist: an allegory about idolatry that is also a genuine comic epic. Fifty-nine plates, among them Walford Graham Robertson and George Harcourt, gather the Oriental dreamscape and quiet interiors that suit Meredith's Arabian tale of barbers, swords, and enchanted hair.

In Little Brother, she leads us by the hand into a world where hunger is constant, sorrow is routine, and the arrival of a child is met with neither joy nor mourning—just another mouth, another burden, another resignation.

  Tarzan, having given up Jane and his title, drifts through Paris and Algiers into the service of a French agent, and is thrown from a liner into the sea. Burroughs sent him back to the jungle by way of the drawing-room, and on the way invented Opar — the sun-worshipping ruin whose priestess La wants him for herself. The book that follows the famous one is where the series decides it is not going to be about civilisation after all. Sixty plates by painters from Théodore Rousseau to Rosa Bonheur follow the story from Fontainebleau forest to the tiger-haunted jungle, the same wild ground Tarzan crosses between Paris and Opar.

  In Dead Souls, Nikolai Gogol crafts a brilliant satirical portrait of 19th-century Russian society. The novel follows the mysterious and cunning Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov as he travels from town to town, attempting to buy the ownership rights to dead serfs in order to gain wealth and status through a bizarre loophole in the Russian system.Through absurdity, irony, and vivid characterization, Gogol exposes the moral decay and bureaucratic nonsense of imperial Russia. At once comedic and deeply philosophical, Dead Souls is considered one of the great masterpieces of Russian literature, a novel that is as relevant and haunting today as it was in Gogol's time.
